Why F3HR Consulting

Founder-led, not handed off

No handoffs, no junior staff. Every engagement is led personally by Terry Gerbs, MA, PHR, SHRM-CP.

Built for 200 or fewer employees

Big-firm HR advice doesn't fit small companies. F3HR is designed around the realities, budgets, and risks of California small and mid-size employers.

F3HR Consulting plays a crucial role in supporting businesses by providing expert guidance on human resource functions. From employee relations to compliance and organizational development, F3HR Consulting offers valuable insights and solutions to enhance workplace efficiency, employee satisfaction, and overall organizational success.
